Israeli forces ordered a Palestinian family from the south-occupied West Bank town of Hebron on Thursday to stop the reconstruction of their home and to imprison the workers.
According to the Palestinian Reconstruction Commission of Hebron, Israeli troops plundered the house of Ishaq Maharmeh in the ancient city of Hebron, under full Israeli control, and ordered him to stop the reconstruction and maintenance work in the house.
Sources confirmed that the Israeli forces are stopping the work under the pretext that Maharmeh must first receive military permission from the Israeli civil government.
Israeli troops captured several workers who had been working on renovations in Maharmeh's house. Their identity remained unknown, according to Ma & # 39; an.
The Palestinian civilian liaison officer said it was aware of the army's decision to prevent the repair work.
The liaison officer added that efforts are being made to reverse the decision so that the Reconstruction Committee could complete the task.
The commission is trying to help Palestinian residents of Hebron's old city to renovate their homes to prevent people from leaving their homes, while Israel plans to take over Palestinian homes and transfer property to Israeli settlers.
Hebron & # 39; s lighthouse Old City is since november 2015 by the Israeli army to closed military zone & # 39; and all non-resident Palestinians are prevented from entering the area.
Palestinians who lived in the Old City had to register under a numbering system according to the declaration to pass through the 17 military checkpoints that cross the area.
Approximately 800 Israeli settlers live illegally in the area and have been able to move freely.
Despite being located in the center of the city of Hebron, which falls under Palestinian jurisdiction, the old city is located in an area designated as â € œH2â € and under full Israeli military control.
About 40,000 Palestinians live in H2, reporting frequent and often violent intimidation by Israeli settlers who are trying to push the local population out of the old city, and the severe restrictions imposed by the military to prevent Palestinians from performing daily activities.
